How do we know that our suffering is purposeful?

Answered in 1 source

Suffering appointed by God is purposeful, revealing our faith and drawing us closer to Christ.

The sermon emphasizes that trials are ordained by God for believers, meant to reveal faith rather than produce it. Philippians 1:29 points out that not only are we granted the privilege to believe in Christ, but we are also given the opportunity to suffer for His sake. This indicates that our suffering is not random but serves divine purposes, such as refining our character and demonstrating our love for Christ during difficult times.
